Neustädter Tor, Tangermünde, Medieval city gate in Tangermünde, Germany.

The Neustädter Tor is a medieval city gate with two distinct towers representing different periods of the town's defensive development. A square tower from the early 14th century stands alongside a round tower that was added during the 15th century.

The rectangular tower was built around 1300. The round tower and the central structure flanking a pointed-arch passage were added around 1450; their richer decoration, with glazed bricks and a carved frieze, is attributed to the workshop of Stephan Buxtehude, who also worked on the Uenglinger Tor in Stendal and the Elbtor in Werben.

Above the gate passage, five coats of arms were painted in 1897: the Prussian eagle, the imperial eagle bearing the Hohenzollern shield, the Tangermünde eagle, the eagle of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and the Brandenburg eagle. The round tower also carries a stone frieze showing the head of Medusa.

The gate is accessible year-round and sits in the western area of the old town alongside other preserved fortifications. Walking to the nearby Hünerdorf Gate and Elbe Gate helps you follow the route of the medieval town walls and understand the full defensive system.

The round tower's brickwork includes glazed bricks set in spiral or zigzag patterns, and a moulded frieze showing the head of Medusa. These ornaments belong to the richer decoration of around 1450, probably mediated by Stephan Buxtehude, who also worked on the Uenglinger Tor in Stendal and the Elbtor in Werben.
